Cap, Slip PVC Schedule 80 10" (847-100)

The 847-100 is a 10" Schedule 80 PVC cap with a single slip socket. The cap is the definitive pipe end termination fitting — a closed-end socket that permanently seals a pipe or fitting outlet, isolates a system branch, blanks off an unused port, or caps a pipe end during pressure testing and phased system construction. At 10" Schedule 80, the 847-100 is a large-bore, heavy-wall termination fitting whose specification context is as deliberate as any other Schedule 80 component: it belongs on industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, high-pressure headers, and large-diameter infrastructure where schedule consistency throughout the system — including at every termination point — is a design, pressure, and chemical resistance requirement.

The cap's function is simple; its importance in system integrity is not. A properly solvent-welded 10" Schedule 80 cap produces a fully fused, pressure-rated blind end on the pipe or fitting it terminates — rated to the full pressure capacity of the Schedule 80 system when correctly prepared and installed. In pressure testing applications, the cap is a temporary termination that allows the system to be hydrostatically tested to its rated pressure before final commissioning, confirming joint integrity throughout the assembly before the system goes into service. In permanent installations, the cap seals unused tee branches, isolates future expansion ports, and blanks off system ends cleanly without threaded plugs, flanged blind plates, or mechanical end closures that introduce dissimilar materials or connection types into a solvent-weld system.

Schedule 80 at 10" carries specific specification implications at the cap. In a Schedule 80 piping system, every fitting in the network — elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, and termination caps — should maintain schedule consistency to preserve uniform chemical resistance, wall thickness, and pressure ratings across every connection and termination point. Substituting a Schedule 40 cap on a Schedule 80 system end introduces a weak point in chemical resistance and pressure capacity at the precise location where the system is sealed — an inconsistency that process engineers, chemical plant inspectors, and system commissioning teams will identify and flag. The 847-100 eliminates that inconsistency, delivering a termination fitting that is fully matched to its Schedule 80 parent system in every performance parameter.

The 10" slip socket accepts standard IPS-dimension Schedule 80 PVC pipe or fitting spigots bonded with heavy-bodied PVC solvent cement — the correct grade at large diameters where socket depth and cement coverage area are substantially greater than small-bore applications. Manufactured from rigid dark gray PVC compound to ASTM D2467, the 847-100 carries the dark gray color standard for Schedule 80 PVC fittings and is NSF/ANSI 61 listed for potable water service.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — Permanent blind terminations on unused 10" Schedule 80 tee branches, system ends, and future expansion ports on process water, cooling water, chemical distribution, and plant utility fluid headers; Schedule 80 construction maintains schedule consistency and chemical resistance at every termination point throughout the industrial piping network
• Chemical Processing & Manufacturing — Pressure-rated end closures on 10" chemical transfer, rinse water, and process fluid distribution headers where Schedule 80 chemical resistance is required at pipe terminations as consistently as at every other fitting in the system; caps unused branch outlets on chemical-service tees and manifold assemblies without introducing Schedule 40 chemical resistance compromises at the sealed end
• Hydrostatic Pressure Testing — Temporary pipe end terminations during system pressure testing on 10" Schedule 80 installations; the fully fused solvent-weld cap holds rated system pressure during hydrostat, confirming assembly integrity before commissioning and before permanent connections to equipment or downstream systems are made
• Phased System Construction — Permanent or semi-permanent end caps on 10" Schedule 80 headers during phased construction where future branch extensions, equipment connections, or system expansions are planned; the cap seals the system end cleanly for current operation while preserving the slip socket for future cutout and extension without field tapping or saddle hardware
• Municipal Water & Wastewater — End closures on 10" Schedule 80 water transmission mains, pump station headers, and wastewater force main terminations where Schedule 80 construction is specified for elevated service pressures and the cap provides a pressure-rated, schedule-consistent termination at system ends, blow-off points, and unused tee branches
• Pump Station & Equipment Connections — Blanking of unused 10" Schedule 80 pump outlet ports, valve assembly branches, and manifold end connections where a pressure-rated solvent-weld cap maintains system pressure integrity and schedule consistency at each sealed port throughout the pump station piping assembly
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — End closures on 10" treatment plant process water, chemical feed, and distribution header terminations where Schedule 80 construction is specified for chemical media compatibility and elevated pressure service; caps isolate future expansion branches and seal system ends cleanly on primary plant flow lines
• Mining & Power Generation — Permanent pipe end terminations on 10" cooling water, process effluent, and plant utility distribution headers in harsh industrial environments where Schedule 80 impact resistance, chemical tolerance, and heavy-wall pressure capacity are required at every fitting in the system including termination points
